Anyone Ever Ship Rims Before?

I've shipped wheels by UPS with no box,just securely duct taped two together.Wheels,cycle frames ,steel stuff can be shipped that way.If it's a finish painted item a box is necessary to protect the finish.

I usually use the Post Office believe it or not. I shipped 5 rims in two separate boxes through them (plus numerous grilles and other stuff). The thing is this: the total length plus girth has to be under 108 line inches. Weight can be up to 70 lbs I think. You might have to make two boxes, but you can ship for less than 80 through them.

 

I know you already shipped yours but for other interested parties, you can pick up bigger boxes also at your local appliance or hardware store.

For shipping I like usps then either Greyhound or Amtrak. Amtrak works like Greyhound it is terminal only at both ends and not at just a passenger pickup site. I probably would use Greyhound or Amtrak more but my closest terminal for either is about a 50 minute ride one way so I try to time my big sales if I know i'm going in that direction.
I can't wait, we are getting a closer Amtrak station in about a year.

 

remember the ups store is a private bussiness ///they charge 25 per cent more then ups

 

Lots of good advice here... shipping 4 wheels from CA to VA.

 

Man, that guy was nuts to give you that extra $20!!!

Oh by the way, thanks for the wheels.
